In his speech before the Republican
club of New York, Senator Evarts
said some things that will make our
Democratic brethren put on their
thinking caps. For instance:

Democrats have majority of twelve
in the lower branch. but what does
that weak majority count as against
the united, intelligent, trained mi.

ALIrTLE LAND NEWS.

In the following dispatch which we
clip from daily paper of recent date
the case referred to is doubtless that
of w. M. Mattocks, of this county, in
stead of Matlack. 1t is well understood
as explained in the dispatch, that
Mr.. Mattocks bases the claim to his
land on entirely different grounds from
those on which the ordinary league
claims are founded. He settled on his
land before the grant attached and his
title to it ought to be confirmed. The
laads held by P. NJ. Carmine and T.
A. McClelland, Carlyle township, and
by n. L. Ard and we believe by Mr..
Shiveley, of Elsmore township, have
the same status. The following is the
dispatch:
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Commis.
siOner Sparks has reported to the Sec
rotary Of the interior the case of w. M.
Matlack, a settler i'm Kansas, on land
within the indemnity limits of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad,
who settled in 1866, before the railraOd
withdrawal was made, but who was
prevented from putting his claim on
record in the local land office by enron.
eous advice of the register of the Uni.
ted States land Office, who was at the
company. When he subsequently ap.
piled to enter he was told that the
lands were withdrawn for the railroad.
In 1873 the tract occupied by Matlack
was patented to the railroad company,
but he remained on the land and is
there yet, having made it his home
with his family, for more than twenty
years, during which time it has become
a farm worth $500. The railroad
company attempted to GUST him by
proceedings in the district court of the
State, but the court decided in favor
of the settler, whereupon the railroad
company appealed to the supreme
court of the State. The settler then
applied to the department of the inter-
Tor for relief from the prosecutions of
the railroad company, stating that he
was unable to defend his claim through
all the courts. Commissioner sparks
recommends to the secretary that suit
be at once brought to set aside the
railroad patent and that the United
States attorney be instructed through
the department of justice to appear in
the supreme court, and advise the
court of such action, and to take such
steps and file such motions as may
be necessary to protect the settlers
home. Though this case is exceptional
in many respects, yet the proposed in.
Prevention of the government in the
settlers behalf in court is a novelty,
and if the course recommended by the
commissioner is adopted, similar inter.
vention may be asked in a great mum.
